Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable chromatin binding activity; signaling receptor binding activity; and transcription coregulator activity. Predicted to be involved in nucleosome disassembly; regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and transcription initiation-coupled chromatin remodeling. Predicted to act upstream of or within chromatin organization and nervous system development. Part of SWI/SNF complex; nBAF complex; and npBAF complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and retina layer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Coffin-Siris syndrome 11. Orthologous to human SMARCD1 (SWI/SNF related, matrix associated, actin dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily d, member 1).
